Local perivenous anaesthesia has evolved from tumescent anaesthesia which has had a huge impact on liposuction procedures. Perivenous anaesthesia has had a similar effect on peripheral venous surgery. Safety during its application is further enhanced when combined with skilled ultrasound guidance and astute operator awareness.
